WATERMAN, BARTLETT AND MURDOCK
Ancestors of Elisha Waterman Tilson.
WATERMAN.
This name was derived from the occupation of the first Thomas
who held a commission in the navy and was denominated or called
Thomas the "Waterman." Robert1 was son or grandson of Thomas.
He was in Salem, N. E., in 1636; perhaps born 1615. Was soon in
Plymouth, N. E., and married 1638, Elizabeth Bourne, dau. of
Thomas Bourne, and was afterwards of Marshfield. His brother,
Thomas, was in Hingham, N. E., 1679, who had a son Robert, born
1680. See Hobart's Journal.

John Waterman, a passenger in the Jonathan, arrived at Boston,
1639, of which I know no more, but that his passage was paid by
Peter Noyes of Sudburg, and therefore we may suppose him to be a
servant.
